BBC Stargazing live eclipse event and Astronomy for Fun.

Post by Richard »

Afternoon all, our little UK group Astronomy for Fun is holding a public eclipse viewing in Braunston UK.
Handed out CBSAP glasses to a local school and the primary school in the village have given all the children the morning off to come to have a look and ask questions to the event.
Had a nice little article printed in the local newspaper yesterday and also the BBC have put the event on their website.

Photos and report to follow after the event, so fingers crossed we have a cloud free day for a change in the UK..
